The author agrees with a reviewer who believes the latest iPhone models are comparable to Apple's "S" year releases. A key point highlighted is that the regular iPhone 18 Pro, according to Apple's specs, offers longer battery life than the previous year's iPhone 17 Pro Max. This year-over-year improvement in an important attribute is easily understandable. The reviewer questions why Apple omits battery capacities in mAh from their published specifications, a fact typically discovered through teardowns. This practice extends to RAM, which is also not listed on Apple's tech specs pages. Apple's philosophy is to only publish specs they deem useful for comparison, such as storage and overall battery life based on usage scenarios. They believe specific metrics like mAh capacity or RAM amounts are not useful comparative tools, especially when contrasting with Android devices. Apple argues that battery life is more complex than just battery size, with chip efficiency playing a significant role. Similarly, they feel that comparing iPhone RAM to Android RAM is misleading due to iOS's optimization. Therefore, Apple chooses not to publish these specific figures, opting instead for metrics they believe users will find more relevant.
